Companies Using ipgeolocation

I went into ipgeolocation expecting a developer's tool and found a good part of it working inside other vendors' products. Our October 2026 crawl found the browser call on 2,075 live domains. After removing landers and the domains where another vendor's widget makes the call, 1,539 remain, 845 of them matched to a company. That cleaned base is what this analysis covers, and the How We Counted section below lists what came out.

What we took out

Writesonic's Botsonic chatbot was the big one: 343 domains. We opened 24 sites carrying it, and 21 made the call, every one under the same ipgeolocation key, Writesonic's; three didn't load. Writesonic appears on the customer logo wall on ipgeolocation.io's home page, so this is one real customer that would otherwise have shown up as hundreds. Cytrio's consent banner (120 domains), the Langwill translation app for Shopify (55) and an ad-management script (13) came out for the same reason, 531 domains in all.

"About a quarter of the raw count was other vendors' widgets making the call. Size this market by accounts before you size it by domains." - Sophie Clarke, Product Marketing Manager at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: if you sell an IP lookup, Writesonic, Cytrio and Langwill are three accounts worth more than the 531 domains they carry. If you prospect the 1,539, you're looking at sites where someone on the team wrote or installed the call.

One reading, heavy churn

The cleaned count starts with this crawl, so the chart has one October point and no trend to read. Churn is the bigger number. Since 16 March 2026, 1,059 domains have dropped ipgeolocation from at least one hostname, and only 80 of them still run it on another hostname. A call that lives in a theme or a widget goes when the theme or widget goes. Future points will also move because the set of domains we crawl turns over every month, with dead sites dropping out and new ones added, and our detection signals widen over time.

Sales signal: for a rival lookup API, the churned domains are the better list. They needed geolocation once and may have moved it to a server or another provider.

Who wires it in

Among companies that call it themselves, the integrations we saw were small. 17 of the 61 candidate sites that made the call in our first check loaded ipgeolocation.io's own jQuery SDK from jsDelivr: DWF, Multi-Color Corporation and Ceragon Networks among them, and Leidos's homepage did the same on our re-check. Others put it in a Shopify theme (Giant Tiger) or a store-inventory script (Charlotte Russe), and Royal Holiday uses the Astronomy API for sunrise and sunset times. The companies are small too: 42.49% of matched companies have 1 to 10 employees and 30.75% have 11 to 50, with 23 above 1,000 staff. The logo wall lists Virtusa and FreshPrints, and both are in our list; Fresh Prints made the call when we opened it, while Virtusa's site blocked our browser.

Sales signal: the buyer is a developer or a web agency, and the trigger is a country redirect, a currency switch or a stock check. Every key we saw was readable in the browser's request, so key security is a fair opening.

Industries and countries

Software Development (6.08%) and IT Services (4.94%) lead, Retail (4.82%) and Advertising Services (4.44%) follow, and the ten largest industries add up to only 37.77%. The United States has 244 matched companies, the United Kingdom 82, Australia 48, Canada and India 37 each. ipgeolocation.io is built in Lahore by JFreaks Software Solutions, according to its about page, but Pakistan isn't in our top 15, and India has about 15 companies per 100 American ones against about 56 on IPinfo's profile.

Sales signal: treat it as a horizontal, English-speaking list. Filter by stack before industry.

Running beside ipify and IPinfo

On the cleaned set, 99 ipgeolocation domains also call ipify today and 25 call IPinfo. Neither pair passes our switching tests, because most domains ever seen with both still run both. ipify (66,052 domains) and IPinfo (43,583) are far larger, though their figures haven't had the widget cleaning applied here.

"In our data, sites stack lookup APIs rather than swap one for another. The ones calling ipgeolocation from their own code are the ones that chose it." - Sophie Clarke, Product Marketing Manager at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: a site calling two lookups makes two requests per visitor where one would do, which makes consolidation an easy first pitch.

The stack around it

Across the 1,539 domains in our clean live set, Google Analytics runs on 81.48%, WordPress on 28.78% and Shopify on 21.77%. Next.js (10.92%), ASP.NET (3.64%) and Amazon Web Services (16.37%) point to custom builds, which fits the many sites calling ipgeolocation from their own code. Firebase is on 4.68% and Vercel on 4.55%.

Sales signal: Next.js and AWS sites have the easiest path to moving the lookup server-side, so talk to them about latency and key security rather than price.

What it costs

The pricing page (13 October 2026) lists a Free plan of 1,000 credits a day, then Starter at $19 a month for 150,000 credits, Plus at $49 for 500,000, Pro at $79 for 1 million, Business at $129 for 2 million and Premium at $249 for 5 million. The home page says commercial use requires a paid plan. Requests can be authorised by API key or by request origin, and the free getip endpoint needs neither. The about page dates the idea to late 2017 and the first public API release to May 2018.

Sales signal: a commercial site calling from the browser with a visible key may be on the Free plan against its terms. That's an upgrade conversation for ipgeolocation.io and an opening for anyone with a better offer.

Key takeaways

1. 1,539 live domains after cleaning, 19th of 66 in Maps & Geolocation.

2. 531 more carried the call inside another vendor's widget, 343 of them Writesonic's chatbot.

3. 1,059 domains dropped it since March 2026, against 1,539 live.

4. Mostly small companies, 61.57% founded since 2010, with Leidos, DWF and Giant Tiger at the top end.

5. Overlap with ipify and IPinfo, but no switching.
